A friend and I went for a ride today, the 2nd for his new 2010 TE 450. I thought it would be nice to get up to some high lakes here before they are snowed out for the winter. All I can say is don't do it on Karoo's! He took off both his mirrors (folding ones even, but they werent folded down?) on the first slide and fall and ruined the black plastic license plate dangler later on. Busted and split. Electrical tape comes in handy to secure floppy turn signals. The wack the tire on a tree to get the front end straight enough to ride was needed. He was OK. I felt bad seeing his new 450 getting the hard break in. Lower elevations next ride, or untill the darn Karoo's come off. Why does Husky put the darn Karoo's on the TE's? Why not Metezler UniCross instead?
Yeah, the Karoos are terrible, even when it's dry. You drop into a turn on pavement and you can feel that huge gap in the tread. And it's not a pleasant feeling at all. I yanked them right off my 310 and put some bridgestones on. That UniCross looks good, though.
